Dilemma and Need Help!

Hi,
Well I'll start off by saying that I'm extremely inexperienced with dating girls (now 17) etc etc. Two days ago I texted a girl I've always liked (shes 16) for the first time in months and btw I haven't actually seen her for about year. She said how we haven't seen each other and should meet up etc for a catch up so I said Id bring her for a ride in my car to the local sea side town about 40 miles away so she said yes but jokingly I think but after a few texts she asked if i'm serious about it and that shes up for it to catch up. So I said that I'll take her in a few weeks once I get my insurance paid.

Well do you think that its possible that she would have an interest or am i being naive because she said it would be good to catch up a few times. I tried to get across that I'd like to take her out a few months back but she didn't seem to show much interest probably because I was too shy to actually say the words.

Sorry for the long post but hopefully you might be able to help.:smile:

To be honest, if the two of you haven't seen eachother for a year she probably won't know if she likes you but the fact that she has agreed to go with you is a good sign. If shes happy to go on a forty mile drive with you when you're not particularly close, its a good sign that she might be interested in you?
Do it as soon as possible though so the idea doesn;t get forgotten! x

The fact that she seems like she wants to see you etc shows she might like you, meet up soon and see how it goes! let us know :smile:

maybe "catch up" is code -- girls are silly that way - i mean its a 40 mile drive!

Well i suppose its a good sign but I think the fact shes ina bit of different league scares me with the prospect of keeping her entertained for about 3 hours and that does make me bloody nervous. Also I still feel personally 80% that shes got no interest and is only doing it really to simply catch up say hello and thats it.

I guess it's difficult to tell, but at least you'll get to see her after so long!

Maybe she said it twice to emphasise that it's just for catching up and nothing else? Sorry to be the only negative one...

Seems you might be right as when we were talking on msn for about 2 hours last night she said when i started talking about the trip ''youre not like then drew an icon meaning getting it on are you.'' I then said no and that it would just be good to catch up so if you dont want top go thats fine. She later said she definitely wants to go. Seems I have no chance now.

Any help

Why don't you just take her? Going places with friends is fun! And catching up is always fun.

Otherwise, you've already told her that you have to pay the insurance first or whatever. Just don't mention going again. If she doesn't mention it either, means probably she wasn't THAT interested in going anyway.

maybe when you meet her she'll want to be with you but she's just taking precautions and making sure you don't just wanna meet up for some "catch up" sex and then leave. There is still a chance that she's interested in you.

I was again on the msn with her today with for about 2and a half hours. The reason for this msn obsession is that she told me to get msn so I downloaded it for the first time. So is it possible to change a girls interest in you through msn or a trip in the car.

yeah anything at all can change a girls interest! if there is a spark between you it doesnt matter how it happens. i spoke to my mate on msn and we flirted a little here and there, next time i saw her she was all over me
